icepixieFox to premiere "Skating with Celebrities" Jan. 18th.
Utterly horrifying, and yet strangely amusing at the same time. Pairs skating in six weeks? Ouch. They have a very flexible definition of "celebrity," I must say. An LA weather forecaster? Meh? The only two of them I'd heard of were Kristy Swanson and Debbie Gibson (which...DUDE).
But Renee Roca's doing the choreography, so that ought to be pretty. Speaking of pretty, John Zimmerman's one of the skaters. Lloyd Eisler (of the pairs team Brasseur and Eisler, aka the "OhmyGodIcan'twatchshe'sgoingtohitherheadaaaaiiieeeee!" team) and Kurt Browning round out the male skaters. Jenni Meno (who's blonde now--again, everyone changed their hair color in the past four years!), Nancy Kerrigan and Tai Babilonia (talk about a blast from the past) are the poor girls who get to be tossed about by the inexperienced guys.
I...think I have to watch this. Or, more likely, record it to watch over spring break, since any time I'll have for TV-watching this semester will probably end up devoted to the Olympics. (Which conflict with this. What bozo scheduled that? Anyone who might be watching this is going to be far more interested in the Olys.)
Speaking of horrifying things: The Cutting Edge II: Going for the Gold exists, and will come out in March. It's about Kate and Doug's teenage daughter (who, despite the earliest possible birthdate for her being the beginning of '93, looks considerably older than thirteen), a bitchy pairs skater (hmmm, this is starting to sound familiar...) who's scared off all potential partners (very familiar...) and must resort to a washed-up inline skater (now where have I seen this before?). Not only that, but Kate's not in the movie at all, and Doug is being played by some random guy, not D.B. Sweeney.
It's a direct-to-DVD release, which is prudent, because there is no way this can be good. None. Although I will probably watch it anyway, because I'm pathetic.
There were ways to make a sequel to this movie that might not have sucked quite so badly (Kate and Doug at the '94 Olympics? Kate and Doug go on tour with Stars/Champions on Ice?), but they bypassed all of them and went straight on to this. My brain hurts.
